Several years ago I studied in a university in the biggest city in our country. It’s beautiful but it’s hot in 36 . So I usually returned to my hometown when my 37 began. It is not big, but it’s cool and quiet. I could 38 in the daytime and have a good sleep at night.

One day I had some 39 to solve. But I didn’t take the dictionaries home. My father told me Charlie, one of my 40 , had a good library. I went to his house at once. We didn’t see each other after I 41 middle school. At first he didn’t recognize me. He 42 me up and down .And then he called out’ “Oh, dear！It’s you, Fred!” Of course we were 43 to meet each other again and talked a lot about our schoolmates 3

and 44 .Later on he showed me around his library. It wasn’t big but there were a lot of nice books in it. And the dictionaries I 45 were in them too. At last I said,“ 46 you lend some dictionaries to me, please?”

“I’ m sorry I don’ t lend any books to 47 ,” said the young man.

“Are you afraid I’ll 48 them?”

“No, I’m afraid you won’t 49 them to me. Look! All the books are not 50 ,but borrowed!”
